Attend to the white washing of
your fences, trees, outhouses, barns,
stables, DC. Nothing renders home
more attractive than liberal use of
whitewash about the premises. A
good wash for outdoor work may be
prepared by Stacking bushel of
lime and keeping it covered over
night, then adding enough hot water
to make it of a proper consistency
for use To add before using, say
one peck of salt, and say -four or five

tits not yet too late to plant Burma
da grass. Every farmer ought 70 have
a ''calf lot at least, set to this best
and most hardy OF grazing grasses,
as to our notion, it stands our sum-
mer droaths better than any of the
grasses with which we are familiar.
TO those who are not familiar with
the method of planting it, we will
add that all that is necessary is to
pillow the land, harrow it thoroughly
and then check row 1t off, say two
feet each way and then drop in
sprig of the grass root, two or three
inches long and press it down with
the toe of your boot 1t needs but
little covering, and will take hold
and grow at once.
1t is we'll established fact in roll
itical economy, that manufactures In
order to succeed, should be establish
ed either at the place of production
or at the point of consumption. I'm
der the Inter State commerce law
there can be no 'cut rates" i. e., %
long and short haul are to be gov
erned by the same rules. This being
true, Arkansas and the South west
being the points of consumption, is
it not clear to the mind of every bust
ness man, that manufactures estab-
lished IN this city, could successfully
with those of our northern
and eastern states, for the manufac-
ture of such articles as we Of neces-
sity must have in the south.
CORN CULTURE.
One of the secrets of successful
corn culture is not to pillow the soil
too deeply after the plant reaches.
the hight Of two feet. Our method
has been to first harrow the ground
thoroughly just after it Is up, then
take small bull tongue pillow and
run as closely to the plants as yon
can, when 1t is about three or four
inches high, and then follow this
blowing with the slanting two horse
harrow. After this when the plants
are say, three feet high, run the cul-
tlvator through 1t going twice in the
row. The bedding up process at lay
ing by, is certain destruction to
the roots and will result in great in
jury to the crop.

The Presbyterian Entertainment.

Providence, in the favorable condition
Of weather. smiled grncionsly upon the
ladies Of the Presbyterian church in their
entertainment on last Thursday evening.
The night was all that could be wished.
and Henck's Hall was crowded TO its
utmost seating capacity,-in fact, every
body in town seemed to be ont.
The program was a most excellent one,
well arranged and executed in manner
that reflected great credit on all who
evening u complete success.
The concert was introduced by q
very pretty instrumental solo 10y Miss
Miriam Crutcher who plays with a
remarkable delicacy of touch and great
expression.
This followed by song-"Along the
Brooks'-by Mrs. Charles Chrisman, who
also, later on in the evening favored the
audience with "The Broken Pitcher" aud
so sweetly did she sing these beautiful
songs that the entire audience endeavor-
ed by repeated encores 10 induce her to
appear again. Very few persons have
voice 80 strong and melodious and clear
and melifluous as that of Mrs. Chrisman.
Next on the program was the ''Snn
flower Tableau," which was certainly
very striking, aud something altogether
unique. Nature with all her identifying
power never made suntlowers half 50
pretty as those whose centres were the
blushing faces of beautiful maidcrs
The audience was highly delighted
with the charming manner in which Mrs
Holt sang Heart, Why Dost Thou
Languish 7" Her voice is full, rich and
musical and shows very high degree of
cultivation. Mississippi has no more
talented vocalist than Mrs. Holt.
The recitation of Miss Hill was most
pleasing one and called forth unmistak-
able expression of the highest appreca-
ton. Gracefulness and naturalncss of
manner, compiled with keen preceptive
powers and rythmical voice, rendered
Miss Hill most charming and superior
elocutionist.
The concert closed with a most laugh
able farce-"1he Virginia Mnmmy'-
which was presented in a very creditable
manner. Mr.. Eugene Mccormick in the
role of mummy inpersonated the Southern
darkey to perfection and evoked hearty
laughter even from those who were no
wont to laugh.
After the exercises were concluded the
large audience renamed to partake of the
delightful ice-cream, Strawberries and
cake, which the ladies served in abun- |
dace. We are glad to be able to state
that quite handsome sum was realized
which will be expended in improving the
church.
Such entertainments should be encour-
aged by our people, for they are elevatIng
in their nature and the object is always "a
most worthy one.

The Effects of Mental Eek ha us.

Many diseases, especially those of the
nervous system, are the products of
daily renewed mental exhaustion.
Business avocations often involve an
amount OF mental wear and tear prejudi-
cial to physical health, and the profess
SONS, if arduously pursued, are no less
destructive to brain an nerve tissue. 1t
IS one of the most important attributes of
flOstetter's Stomach Bitters, that it
c0lnpensates for this undue loss of
tissue, and that it imparts new energy to
the brain and nerves. The rapdity with
which it renews weakened mental energy
and physical vitality is remarkable, and
shows that its invigorating popertes are
of the highest order. Besides increasing
vital stamina, and counteracting the
effects of mental exhaustion, this poten
tial medicine cures and prevents fever
and ague, rheumatism, chronic dyspep-
STA and constipation, kidney and uterine
weakness and other complaints. Physl-
clans also commend it as q medicated
stimulant and remedy.

Closing Exercises of Prof. Young's

Editor Brookhaven Leader:
| want to tell you something about
the picnic and concert at Mt. MOriah on
Saturday, April Both. Your correspon-
dent left Brookhaven about 10 o'clock on
Saturday to attend the picnic and
concert at the close of Prof. r. H.
Young's school. 1t was near noon
when arrived on the grounds and found
considerable crowd collected. Ere
was there long Prof. Young announced
that Prof. A. J. Maxey, of Bogue Chitto,
would deliver and address on the subject
of Education. Prof Maxey then came
forward and after Offering short prayer
spoke about an hour in his usual
eloquent manner, urging upon the
people the necessity of education.
After this address, it was soon made
known that dinner was ready, and right
here | want to say this was fine, and in
uperabundance, being sutficirncy for
supper for all. But had forgotten to
tell you that the Bogue Chitto Brass
Band were on hand and discoursed
sweet music during the day and night.
At about o'clock Z. NJ, it was all
nouuced that the concert would begin,
and it was soon apparent that Prof.
YOung's concert would be decided
success. Those princes of good fellows.
and comical gcninses, Messrs. james
Boone and Willis Bowman, were the
clowns, and performed as we'll as some
with many years experience. The
students all performed their parts well
and nothing occurred to mar the
pleasure of any one. 1t was very
enjoyable affair.

Our clever friend, Will C. Cannon, of
Monticello, spent Tuesday in town
and favored this Office with pleasant
call. Mr.. Cannon is very favOrably
spoken of in his county as a candidate for
Circuit and Chancery Clerk, and should
he decide to run, wonld prove formid
able opponent to all Corners. He has
filled the position of Deputy Clerk
for number of years, often dis
charging all the duties of the office,
and If the people should decide to
follow Mr.. Cleveland's policy of pro-
noting officials who have proved them
selves faithful and efficient in subordin-
ate positions, his election would be as
sured.
